"Beautiful," I said, looking up at the moon, too.
"It's all right," he answered, unimpressed. He turned slowly to face me; little waves rolled away from his movement and broke against my skin. His eyes looked silver in his ice-colored face. He twisted his hand up so that he could twine our fingers beneath the surface of the water. It was warm enough that his cool skin did not raise goose bumps on mine.
"But I wouldn't use the word beautiful," he continued. "Not with you standing here in comparison."
His arms wrapped around me, holding me against him, summer and winter. It felt like every nerve ending in my body was a live wire.
"Forever," he agreed, and then pulled us gently into deeper water.
Yep. Its that time of year again... this is the first time I'm reading BD since the fly through I did when I bought it... I'm thoroughly enjoying it <3
One things for sure. I'll never get used to the way he talks to her... her, me, whatever... it feels the same.
